Pathophysiology

Homework 1 (should be approx. 3.5 pages of content, not including title or reference page)

General Tips

· Page 1 is the title page. Last page is the reference list. Do not include questions.

· Use scholarly writing with correct spelling and complete sentences. Avoid nursing documentation-style writing. No direct quotes allowed.

· If abbreviations are used, they are introduced and used consistently afterwards

· Format using APA style

· Turnitin guidelines – your goal is <20% matching AND no verbatim sentences/passages. Do not worry about matches of non-content items (title page, headings, etc.)

· Support answers using current, professional/reliable sources – sources should be published within the last 5 years (2015 or later). Paraphrase and cite sources as needed. For any source cited in the text, include full reference in reference list.

· Examples of professional/scientific/published sources: textbooks, journal articles, government/scientific sites

· Journal articles – can be found in BSN library databases, see SPC single-sign on page

· Government sites – e.g., Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institute of Allery and Infectious Disease, AIDS.gov, Professional Nursing Organizations (e.g., Oncology Nursing Society), World Health Organization, National Cancer Institute

· Examples of inappropriate sources – should NOT use Wiki anything, WebMD, Medscape, Health system sites (Johns Hopkins, Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic)

Question 1 (approx. 1 page)– Disease process and underlying pathophysiology

· Identify the likely disease process – is pretty self-explanatory

· Explain underlying pathophysiology (evidence to support your interpretation) – underlying cellular/tissue changes that lead to abnormal findings …remember this is a pathophysiology class.

Question 2 (approx. 1 page) – Identify all appropriate NANDA labels, identify #1 priority NANDA label, provide nursing care interventions with rationales

· Identify NANDA labels that apply to the patient based on the manifestations (e.g., pain, respiratory distress, etc.)

· Among the NANDAS, identify the #1 priority NANDA and explain what the nurse should

· Assess/monitor – what should the nurse assess/monitor and provide evidence of the benefit/need

· Do – what actions should the nurse complete to promote improvement and provide evidence of the benefit/need

· Teach – what should the nurse teach the patient/family and evidence of the benefit/need

Question 3 (approx. ½ page)- Medical care and intended impact

· Explain TWO items the nurse should expect to be ordered for the patient and the intended impact of the treatment on the underlying pathophysiology. Be precise and provide specific mechanism of action at the cellular lever (e.g., medication with specific cellular actions)

Question 4 (approx. ½ page) – Choose a disorder from immune system chapters…and discuss impact on population. Give year of information and use most current information available. You will find newer statistics online than in the textbook

· Incidence = number of NEW cases

· Prevalence = number of ALL (new and old) cases

· Cost – can be anything you can find such as hospitalizations, medications, etc. Varies depending on the disease chosen

· Mortality – those who died from a disease

· Morbidity – You may see this term used instead of incidence/prevalence. You’ll have to read carefully to determine if the estimate is for incidence or prevalence. If you already addressed incidence and/or prevalence, morbidity is covered.

· Anything else?

Question 5 (approx. ½ page) – For disease in #3, find EBP recommendations and apply them to nursing

· Find article in a nursing journal or professional nursing organization. To be sure a journal is nursing (and NOT medical/physician), look for some form of the word “nurse” in the journal or organization name. For example, Critical Care Nurse, Oncology Nursing Journal, etc. The biggest mistake students make in this question is they fail to use a nursing source.

· Describe the recommendations and how they should be applied to improve nursing care…in other words; precisely, what should the nurse “do” based on the information to improve care?

We will process your orders through multiple stages and checks to ensure that what we are delivering to you, in the end, is something that is precise as you envisioned it. All of our essay writing service products are 100% original, ensuring that there is no plagiarism in them. The sources are well-researched and cited so it is interesting. Our goal is to help as many students as possible with their assignments, i.e. our prices are affordable and services premium.

Discussion Questions (DQ)

Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, including a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two-sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses.

Weekly Participation

Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week.

APA Format and Writing Quality

Familiarize yourself with the APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition.

Use of Direct Quotes

I discourage over-utilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Master’s level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source.

LopesWrite Policy

For assignments that need to be submitted to Lopes Write, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in Loud-cloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score.

Late Policy

The university’s policy on late assignments is a 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading.

Communication

Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours.
